| After weeks of exhaustic research on mattresses, I finally took the plunge and ordered a Dunlop set from Sleepez. I spoke with Shawn last night and he advised the Dunlop over the Talalay due to my weight (more than 200 lbs.). He was very informative and I appreciated getting the facts. For heavier people, the dunlop seems to be a better choice and will last longer than the Talalay. I did order their new soft dunlop for my top layer---he said that it has a ILD of 16 and has heard good reports about it. I will post my opinion here after trying it out. For the record this is what I ordered: King size 10,000 hubbie's side is Firm base Firm Middle and Medium top layer (he likes a firm bed and sleeps on his back). My side is Firm base/ Medium middle and the new "soft" top layer ( I like support with a little bit of cush as I am a side sleeper). |

Lynn, You are soooo correct!!! I thought that I was going to exchange my firm middle layer for a softer one because my back was still aching. My husband wanted to try out a medium middle layer, so I let him have mine and I slept on his firm, so now I have FIRM,bottom and middle with soft and a 2 inch memory foam on top and it feels much better!!! I stuffed the memory foam topper inside the cover without problems. (It is a high quality memory foam which I had purchased last year). Now my hubbie has Firm bottom, medium middle and top with the memory foam topper and he likes his better as well. It really is great to have the split sides to experiemt with. |

Nursegail, You made my night reading that you used my suggestion on putting a little cushion on top and now the bed feels comfortable. :) I am also glad you also love the split cores. We all try to help each other. I have to be up early tomorrow for a major meeting and then I have this 15th Corp. and Indiv'l Extension deadline date so I will try to log on now and then to see if I can help but will do better at helping others like they helped me when I had my questions a little less than 1.5 years ago when I have more time. Please keep us updated. |
| We have been sleeping on the new layers for about 3 weeks now and have switched the layers around. I was surprised to see that I actually like the firm firm soft side (with a 2 inch memory foam topper) We stuffed the topper inside the pad and it fits just fine!!! |
